It’s 1990. There’s no web to surf. To purchase software, people have to drive to a store called “Egg Head”.
The NeXT Computer was used to invent the World Wide Web and the first App Store both. NeXT is responsible for the first online food delivery and the first search engine or WebCrawler.
In fact, the NeXT Computer brought together for the first time, the very same computer tools and technologies used to create your iPhone, and every one of the apps you use with it.

We think you’re going to love this computer, it’s go the most advanced applications of any computer shipping today, and it’s the first computer designed from scratch to be an interpersonal computer —to extend personal computing into the realm of improving group productivity and collaboration, which we think is going to be the most exciting thing happening in desktop computing in the first half of the 90s’
So welcome to the NeXT World, and let us know what you think of your new computer.
The NeXT was the 20th Century platform used to create the two software technologies billions use everyday here in the 21st Century – the combination of the web to publish content and the App Store to protect digital rights provided the foundation for the mobile computing revolution of today.
This one computer would become the most broadly influential innovation producer of the 20th Century, while gaining less than a sliver of marketshare. Today, for the very first time, the story of the digital revolution, history’s greatest computer and the technologies that engineers created which changed the world, is finally being told.
Please join us on this journey of passion and innovation!

The documentation might have weighed more than the computer (although probably not more than the monitor). Did anybody weigh the doc set? 😉

Is that with our without the Developer Doc Set? Pesonally, I fondly remember seeing that entire cabinet shelf of white Developer Docs from left to right, with a few solid black and green/goldish framed older NeXT 2/3 series on many cabinets in building 2 with both trepidation and respect.
